The can was removed after rangers shot the bear with tranquilisers.
The bear was spotted by them earlier in the autumn with the condensed milk can in its mouth as it was following its mother who was scavenging for food on the remote island.

The rangers tranquilised both the cub and its mother before carefully removing the can from the yearling's tongue with the minimum of bleeding.
"Happily, it all ended well and I hope there will be no similar situations in the future," Mr Gruzdev said.
"But the case highlights the risk to wild animals from man's garbage."
